Adaware Web Companion 4.9.2159 – ‘WCAssistantService’ Unquoted Service Path
The Adaware Web Companion version 4.9.2159 is vulnerable to an unquoted service path vulnerability. The 'WCAssistantService' service has a binary path name that is not properly quoted. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges if they are able to place a malicious executable in the same directory as the service executable.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update to the latest version of Adaware Web Companion. Additionally, ensure that all service paths are properly quoted to prevent unquoted service path vulnerabilities.
